Sleeping is not equal to Loving
obviously, i know nothing about women. I don't know much about relationships or love.
But why the heck do people feel that they need to sleep together when they're in love?
And I do mean sleep. I'm not talking about sex. But I guess this started with sex...sex tends to happen in beds. So, I guess...maybe...people just didn't want to get up after sex? I don't know.
Ok, so just picture the following scenario. A married couple lives in a home. It's bedtime...they go to a bedroom. They have sex! oooooooh! But (and pay attention here!) instead of them both sleeping in the bed where the sex occured, one of them leaves the room and sleeps in an entirely different bed in an entirely different room! Oh my God, it's revolutionary! I have blasphemed! Cut my tongue out! Oh my God, how horrific!
I swear I'm not going to cow-tow to this ridiculous cultural artifact. I don't know where it came from, but I want nothing to do with it.
Ok, Ok, yes...it's a moot point, since I am very single. You're just laughing it up, aren't you, you ugly sacks of...well, nevermind.
Love and sleeping are not the same!!! And sleeping alone is just flat-out better.

Falling asleep next to someone you care about (even without sex) can be magical. But when it comes to staying asleep, or sleeping soundly, you're right on.
Interestingly enough, the NY Times (I think) had an article a while back about many couples today quietly outfitting their new houses with second master bedrooms, because, well, you're exactly right about this whole sleeping thing.
Then again, it's all moot for me, as well.
Ah, the academic ponderings of sad, lonely bastards...
